Financial Aid & Marriage?

Ok so I'm engaged. My fiance wants us to get married sooner than I thought so I might be getting married real soon. Can getting married affect my financial aid? But here's the catch. He's in the army and I'll be living at home with my mom, so does that matter? Like if they know he's in the army will they still take away a whole lot of money? Because I won't be dependent on him at all since he's shipping off, so he won't be able to like help me.

And I don't want to hear any comments saying "your too young for marriage." It's my business if I want to get married young. Just answer the question. Please & thanks :)

Being married and without dependants is likewise the worst tax bracket to be in, and disqualifies you from a lot of scholarships. in case you opt for for to get married for the "perks", think of returned by way of fact there are none at the same time as being in college. It takes somewhat some not undemanding artwork and a great volume of compromise to be married and in college, and it is going to take somewhat some sacrafices... way greater effective than you assume. purely be careful, you recognize what you're arranged for and what you arn't waiting for... purely comprehend that it is not undemanding, not even for a 2d. i'm hoping this helps, sturdy success to you!
